Publisher's Summary
From Brexit Britain to Trump's America to Orban's Hungary, liberal values are under attack.
In a soaring narrative that stretches from the English Civil War to the 2008 financial crash and the rise of populism, the journalist Ian Dunt tells the epic story of liberalism, from its birth in the fight against absolute monarchy to the modern-day resistance against the new populism.
This book explains the political ideas which underpin the modern world. But it is also something much more than that - it is a rallying cry for those who still believe in freedom and reason.

Monumental
Dunt has written a monumental history of liberalism and how it developed. He lays out a thorough case for its defence and why, in the form of egalitarian liberalism, it is needed more than ever.

A rallying cry for Liberalism.
A facinating journey through the history of liberalism. Highly recommended (not enough swearing though)

An important read. Get it absorbed and understood.
I have read and read around many of the historical liberal thinkers. This book pulls it all together in a special way. It gives solid context for the core of liberalism into our current times. Read/listen to it and do better. Thank you Ian.
